Malaria Day

It's still April 25 in North America so I guess I can still comment on it.

I recall a few things about malaria from my invertebrate zoology class. The Korean DMZ is a reservoir for one of the relatively benign forms; it's not that likely to kill you. I've had a few students who contracted malaria when doing their military service and they complained mostly of headaches.
